Starred by Dwayne Johnson as Hercules, or we may know him as The Rock, Irina Shayk as Megara, Ian Mcshane as Amphiaraus and Ingrid Bols as Atalanta. With the duration of 98 minutes, i kind of loose my appetite at the end of the movie.
The movie started with bunch of villains listening to stories about Hercules told by Iolaus. The villains laughs about the Hercules stories and tries to torture Iolaus, this is where finally Hercules shows, and turns out he has 4 other friends : Amphiaraus, Tydeus, Autolycus and Atalanta. Every one has their line of expertise, added with Iolaus there will be six people on team Hercules.
Hercules is a bounty hunter, he gives services to kill villains or monster and get paid by gold. Along with his team, they made a great team facing different kind of people and monsters. One day, a princess, Ergenia came and offer him gold as much as his weight. The job is to killed their enemy the centaur that has tortured lots of citizen in the city of Thrace. Led by King Cotys, Thrace army is untrained, and this is one of Hercules job to train them.
The first war they have to face is the local barbarian, I have to say, this war is the best scene on the entire movie. It's thrilling, yet wonderfully delivered. The scene is dark, but the detail is magnificent. Hercules and king Cotys won the war. Next, they have to face the centaur who were claimed could influence people to do what they wanted to do. In the next war, they also won, and the rest of the defeated army was taken to Thrace.
For me, the story is too easy, shallow and it's the least from I have expected. Hearing the name of Hercules, I imagine it will be filled with Greek Gods, monsters like Hydra,Cyclops and other myth that I see in the usual Greek Myth movie. It's like the movie is trying to hid all the myth part and only shows the human part. This is where I kinda lost my appetite.
All the actors and actress are great, their role is great, the set is magnificent but if I wrap it all, there is no taste after the movie. It's like just watching another episode in the TV series. Compared to Clash of the Titans, this is a very weak movie.
Anyway, that's just my opinion. I give this movie 2/5 stars!
